Hi,
Top level Makefile in the kernel source always contain the kernel version, something like following
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 20
EXTRAVERSION = .1
NAME = Homicidal Dwarf Hamster
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 20
EXTRAVERSION = .1
NAME = Homicidal Dwarf Hamster
Thanks and Regards,
Prasad.

hello,
i have a certain functionality in the form of code, which has edited
the following files of the kernel:
exit.c
fork.c
sched.h
unistd.h
now i know where i have to place these files, however, i do not know
for which version of the kernel they were created. is there any way i
can find out. i have thought that using the diff command from the
terminal along with the original files, of various versions, may only
be the best way to find out the version.
is there any kind of tool which makes the job easier?
thanks,
nirmal
